a NATIONAL PARTY.
Good Reasons for the Enthusiasm Which
Greets Grover Cleveland.

| Greets Grover Cleveland.
There is one point in connection
with President Cleveland's triumphal
tour through the West and South that
seems to have escaped attention.
| No other President for thirty years
could have journeyed through every
part of the Union and received in every
State the same proofs of popular re-
spect and good will. In the DEM
onstrations of regard for the present
Chief Magistrate there is no North, no
South, no East and no West, but one
Nation.
Why is this? 1t is because the party
that elected Grover Cleveland is Ma.
tional party, while the party that has
elected all the other Presidents since
Buchanan has been and still is Sec
tional.
The Democratic party is the most
thoroughly National political organiza-
ton that has ever existed in this coun-
try. 1t fourishes in every State, and
in no State is the percentage of ma
jority against it a large one. On the
other hand, in many States the Re-
publican party is practically extinct
In whole section OF the Union it con-
sisls in the main of a mass of voters
whom, if white-skinned and living in
Massachusetts, men like Senator Hoar
would certainly insist upon disfran-
chising. Yet, even with this body of
easily-ied voters traditionally attached
to it, the Republican party in the South
can scarcely be said to exist.
But the Democracy, though in nearly
half the States falling short of a ma
jority, is OF vigorous growth in all
Look at the figures. In the New En-
gland States Blaine's plurality over
Cleveland was less than ten per cent
of the total vote. In the Middle States,
including Pennsylvania, which gave
Blaine his heaviest majority anywhere,
it was only two per cent. In the great
Northwest, including only one State
which voted for Cleveland, Blaine's
aggregate majority was only five per
cent. of the total vote of that section.
On the Pacific coast, where every State
voted for Blaine, the proportion is
about the same. So it can be seen at
a glance that there is no section of the
Union where the Republican party very
strongly preponderates. But in many
States the Republican showing is beg
carly indeed. For example, in Texas,
the greatest, freest. most wide-awake
and enlightened State in the South,
inhabited very largely by people of
Northern birth or their descendants,
the vote for Cleveland was over 225,-
600, while Blaine's vote was but SO, 600.
Like this En- pire State of the South,
the Empire State of the North voted
for Cleveland. as did Indiana, Connec-
ticut and New Jersey.
There is good reason for the National
enthusiasm that greets Grover Cleve-
land everywhere. He is the first Pres
ident since before the war who has
been called to the chair of Washington
by a popular vote to which all sections
of the Union have contributed in some
thing like equal experimentation

CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH.
The True Jnwardness of His "Rescue'
from the Red Men.

from the fseu MEN,
The Indians especially admired
bravery and cunning. This device of
the white chieftain and his valor when
attacked appealed to their admiration,
and there was a great desire to see
him.
The renowned prisoner was received
with the customary chorus of Indian
yells; and then, acting upon the lead
ing Indian custom, the law of I'M
bounded hospitality, bountiful feast
was set before him. The captive, like
the valiant man he was, ate heartily,
though ignorant what his fate might
be.
The Indians seldom wantonly killed
their captives. When a sufficient
number had been sacrificed to avenge
the memory of such braves as had
fallen in fight, the remaining captives
were either adopted as tribesmen or
disposed of as slaves.
So valiant warrior as this pale
faced cGI-cOrOuSe was too important a
Wa-bun-so-na-cook, the chief, received
him as an honored guest rather than
as a prisoner. kept him in his own
house for two days, and, adopting him
rs bis own son, promised him large
gift of land. Then, with many ex-
pressions of friendship, he returned
him, well escorted by Indian guides,
to the trail that led direct back to the
English colony at jamestown.
This relation destroys the long-fa-
miliar romance of the Captain life
being saved by "the Kings" own
daughter. but it seems to be the only
true version of the story based upon
his own original report.
But though the oft-described "res-
cue" did not take place, the valiant
Englishman's attention was speedily
drawn to the agile little Indian girl,
Ma-ta-oka, whom her father called his
'tomboy" or pO-ca-hun-tas.
She was as inquisitive as any young
girl, savage or civilized; and she was so
full of kindly attentions to the Cap
tain, and bestowed on him so many
smiles and looks of wondering curiosi-
ty, that Smith made much of her in re-
turn, gave her some tritling presents
and asked her name.
Now, it was one of the many singu-
lar customs OF the American Indians
never to tell their own names, nor even
to allow them to be spoken to strangers
by any of their own immediate kim
dred. The reason for this lay in their
peculiar superstition, which held that
the speaking of ones real name gave
to the stranger to whom it was spoken
a magical and harmful influence over
such person.
For this very reason, Wa-bun-so-na-
cook was known TO the colonists by the
name of his tribe, Pow-ha-tan, rather
than by his own name. So. when he
was asked his little daughters name,
he hesitated, and then gave in reply
the nickname by which he often called
her, Po-ca-hun-tas. the "little TOM
boy" This agile young maiden. by
reason of her relationship to the head
chief, was allowed much more freedom
and fun than was usually the lot of In
dian girls, who were, as a rule, the pa
tient and accomplishing little drudges
of every Indian home and village.-E.

HIS INLPERTINENCE.
Miss Violet Dennis Thanksgiving
Romance.

On gloomy evening in November a
young lady was walking rapidly along
the country road leading out of the lit

lated region, and she had met no one,
except now and then a tired laborer re-
turning from his short autumn day.
work, who gazed at her with some sur
prise, as he made her an uncouth said
tation.
For this young lady, Miss Violet
Dennis by name, was very evidently
not of this locality, as one saw at a
glance. From the top of her little close
walking-hat to the tip of her dainty boot,
she was as elegant and stylish as ma
ture and art could make her. Her
presence here just now was due to the
fact that she had fingered late at a
country boarding-house, where she had
accompanied an invalid aunt, after the
gay season of the watering-places was
over. This was the last evening of
her stay ut N, as she was now re-
turning from the daily constitutional

was walking rapidly, for there was an
imminent threatening of rain-already
few stray drops had fallen. Reflect
ing that she had neither waterproof
nor umbrella, she began to feel very
apprehensive, and not without reason,
for in few minutes more she found
herself in the midst of a steady, settled
down-pour, which soon drenched her
She couldn't help laughing at the idea
of her absurd appearance, and was
plodding bravely on, when she sud-
denly became aware of a buggy ap-
preaching her.
1t contained one person only-a
young gentleman, who had the air of
man of the world, and was dressed
in the rough-textured, well-fitting
equipments suited to a hunting expe-
ditiOn.
The rain was coming down in tor
rents as he approached Miss Dennis,
and he gave her very bewildered
gaze, and lifted his hat automically rs

preston of wonder, doubt and sur
prise came into his face, and he alb
ruptly turned his horse and came up
to her side, springing from the buggy
and addressing her with much earnest
ness.
Pray let ME drive you to your
destination" he said, barring his head
to the rain and looking at her scrutin-
izingly.

was doing, Violet found herself walk
ing toward the buggy, and the next

WHOLESOME REFORM.
Dishonest Republican PostmasterS Made
to DIsgorge Their SpoIls.


Very little has been said about the
good work done by the Democratic
Administration in turning the rascals
out of post-offices they held all over
the country, but nevertheless it has re-
suited in very considerable retrench-
ment of expenses. There was wide
spread stealing by Republican post
masters, but it would never have been
heard of if the people had not decided
to open the books and have DEM
ocratic officials to examine. That
is why great many fourth
class post-officeS which used to
pay the postmaster from $50 to 500
a quarter do not pay the present in
combent more than one-tenth of that
revenue. The reason is that the new
Democratic postmasters charge just
what their business entities them to,
whereas their Republican predecessors
charged just as much as they thought t
they could get from the profligate Re-
publican Administration. Fourth-class
postmasters are paid according to the
number of stamps they cancel, or, in
other words, according to the amount
of mail originating at that Office to be
forwarded to the rest of the world.
THE department, says Chief Clerk
Roy, "has very frequently to send out
an inspector to see what is the reason
for the serious falling off in postal busi-
ness, as indicated by reduced salaries
earned by the new postmasters. A
postmaster now at the end of
the quarter claims only s. or
Sc as the amount due him
on the business of his office for the
three months. The books show that
his predecessor was in the habit of
making so or $50 every quarter. The
inspector investigates and finds that
there has been no apparent falling off
in business. The office is not boy
cotted; fully as many people patronize
it as formerly, and they send as much
mail matter as they had been accus-
toned to send. The explanation is
that while the Republican postmaster
had only done S. or Sc worth of busi-
ness he represented that he had done
ten times as much and claimed accord
ingly. The department has practically
had to take the word of the post
master; at least, it has generally done
so. The marked difference between
the large charges made by the post
masters of the old regime and the
small charges made by their Demo-
cratic successors, who did not know
how to steal, suggested to the Demo-
cratic Administration that there ap-
peared to be something wrong, and
that an investigation was needed. The
investigation has proved that the Re-
publican postmasters have been charg-
ing away out of all proportion to the
business done. The charge has been
brought home to large number of
them, and so thoroughly that gener-
ally the delinquent returned to the
Government what he had wrongfully
drawn in years past, and whenever the
delinquent official has failed to settle
the bondsman has generally come to
the front with alacrity. In this way
the present Administration has already
recovered about half 4 million dollars
from Republican fourth-class post
masters who had been in the habit of
drawing for bigger business than
they really transacted. - Washington
